Baku, Azerbaijan, March 22. Switzerland’s need
for renewable energy, particularly in winter, has prompted Axpo to
initiate preliminary assessments for a potential wind farm in the
Dreibündenstein area, located in the canton of Graubünden, Trend reports via
Axpo.
As part of the process, Axpo has engaged with local residents
through two information events.
The next steps include feasibility assessments and wind
measurements, with a wind measurement mast set to be installed in
the coming months. The Dreibündenstein site is earmarked for
inclusion in the cantonal structure plan and could contribute
significantly to sustainable electricity production. Wind power is
seen as a crucial complement to hydropower and solar energy,
especially during the winter months when energy demand peaks.
Axpo is working closely with the municipalities of Churwalden
and Domleschg to evaluate the site’s potential, emphasizing that
public acceptance is a key factor in moving forward. The company is
actively expanding wind energy projects across Switzerland, with
initial wind measurements already underway at multiple locations.
The initiative aims to enhance the country’s energy security by
supplying renewable electricity to thousands of households.
